We introduce FinMMDocR, a novel bilingual multimodal benchmark for evaluating multimodal large language models (MLLMs) on real-world financial numerical reasoning. Compared to existing benchmarks, our work delivers three major advancements. (1) Scenario Awareness: 57.9% of 1,200 expert-annotated problems incorporate 12 types of implicit financial scenarios (e.g., Portfolio Management), challenging models to perform expert-level reasoning based on assumptions; (2) Document Understanding: 837 Chinese/English documents spanning 9 types (e.g., Company Research) average 50.8 pages with rich visual elements, significantly surpassing existing benchmarks in both breadth and depth of financial documents; (3) Multi-Step Computation: Problems demand 11-step reasoning on average (5.3 extraction + 5.7 calculation steps), with 65.0% requiring cross-page evidence (2.4 pages average). The best-performing MLLM achieves only 58.0% accuracy, and different retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) methods show significant performance variations on this task. We expect FinMMDocR to drive improvements in MLLMs and reasoning-enhanced methods on complex multimodal reasoning tasks in real-world scenarios.

Modern shared-memory parallel programming models, such as OpenMP and Cilk, enable developers to encode a parallel execution plan within their code. Existing compilers, including Clang and GCC, directly lower or add additional compatible parallelism on top of the developers’ plan. However, when better parallel execution plans exist that are incompatible with the original plan, compilers lack the capability of disregarding it and replacing it with a better one. To address this problem, this paper introduces the parallel-semantics program dependence graph (PS-PDG), an extension of the program dependence graph (PDG) abstraction that can simultaneously represent parallel semantics derived from both the developer’s original plan and the compiler’s own analysis. To demonstrate the power of PS-PDG, this paper also introduces GINO, an LLVM-based compiler capable of optimizing parallel execution plans using PS-PDG. Through exploring, reasoning, and implementing better parallel execution plans unlocked by PS-PDG, GINO outperforms the developer’s original parallel execution plan by 46.6% at most, and by 15% on average over 56 cores across 8 benchmarks from the NAS benchmark suite.
